Gmail's filters allow you to manage the flow of incoming messages. Using filters, you can automatically label, archive, delete, star, or forward your mail, based on any combination of keywords, sender, recipients, and more.

To create a filter:

Click on settings

Click on filter tab

Enter your filter criteria in the appropriate field(s).

Click Test Search to see which messages currently match your filter terms.

Click Next Step.

Select one or more options from the list.

Your filter is now set up.

If you'd like to apply this filter to messages already in your account, select the "Also apply filter to conversations below".
